Probably wrong topic but I guess more traffic occurs here.
How do you make and maintain friends?
I seem to have no life really other than parenting, housework, walking the dogs & meeting everybody else's needs.
I don't have any friends and don't seem to know how to find any?
Any advice?

The gym? I have friends already… childhood friends, neighbour, sons school friends parents but noticed at gym classes lately two women my age have started chatting to me and seemingly wanting to make friends! I never joined with that intention and it caught me off guard! It’s the Les Mills classes I do.. could something similar work for you?

That's a lovely idea. The central London gyms round me tend to be filled with young beautiful people (and the local council leisure centre is currently shut) but I will look into other classes for sure. Even though I fear they will be full of.... not 40/50 year olds Blush
